Fantasy Novels by James Moloney
In a far away village beside a waterfall, a young boy awakens with no memory of who he is. A strange little girl named Bea tells him that his name is Marcel and that the wizard who lives above their orphanage has used the power of a magical book against him.
So starts an adventure that will see Marcel face red-eyed wolves, a fall from a high cliff and even a ferocious dragon as he desperately tries to reclaim his destiny and discover who he truly is. Most of all, he must try to sift truth from lies - not an easy task when the truth can be twisted to carry off the most stunning deception of all.
To tell too much about this second adventure would spoil the first for those who haven't read The Book of Lies. Marcel's brother Fergus sets out on his quest for revenge against the man who deceived him so cruelly. But unless Marcel can stop him, this act of revenge will only bring more misery. In his floundering attempts to undo the terrible magic he has set loose, Marcel almost gets himself and Nicola drowned. Rescued by the Grand Master of Sorcery, they take refuge in the ominous city of Cadell where dangers of a new kind assail them.
This story is as much about Nicola and Fergus as it is about Marcel, but only he has the power to throw back the evil that threatens. Can he do it? And if one of his close companions is going to die, which one will it be?
I am writing a third and final adventure to follow The Book of Lies and Master of the Books. So far, I haven't settled on a title. I haven't really settled on much at all, except that Bea will return as a central character.
Stay tuned. I'll give more details in this pace as I get further along with the writing.
Sincerely - JM.
